They taste like shrimp, but they are a bitch to eat because the tails
have very jagged edges. I tried them several times a few years back.
They looked liked shrimp or lobster, which I like, and they were
commonly available and quite affordable. Then they disappeared from the
local stores and i have not seen them since.
